In creating CCH iKnow, we’ve been mindful that no two accountancy firms are the same, so if you are a specialist accountancy firm, a sole practitioner or one dealing with a broad range of compliance and business advisory work, it’s easy to build a subscription package that suits your business focus and budget. Flexible Bronze, Silver and Gold pricing packages and modules mean you only pay for the level of content you need.
